Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Rock House is a luxury 10 room boutique hotel on Harbour Island, Bahamas. Our fine dining restaurant has one of the best sunset views of the bay. Personal service and unmatched attention to every detail.Rock House has been a vibrant and colourful feature of the Harbour Island landscape since the early 1940's. Originally a private home, then a Bed and Breakfast and for many years a rental property, Rock House today has evolved to become the standard for elegance, island sophistication and superior service. Fodor's Choice, Condé Nast, Travel & Leisure and Tripadvisor award winner.In July 2002, Rock House caught the interest of the well-known South Florida builder J. Wallace Tutt III. Tutt and business partner Don Purdy, who had already created the successful Hotel Impala in South Beach and worked on commissions for Cher and the late Gianni Versace, had a vision of transforming the property into a luxury boutique hotel. The bar and dining experience at Rock House warrant special and distinct mention offering fine dining under the stars on the pool patio, at our select Chef's Table or on the Terrace overlooking the bay - you can be assured of the perfect cocktail, a superb wine list and delectable menu choices, all served by an attentive yet unobtrusive staff. ... more less

“Ahh-may-zing!!!”

Reviewed 10 March 2013

Rock House is an amazing boutique hotel that offers 1st class service and amenities. The hotel is in a great location - walking distance from the dock (where people arrive by boat); and a mere 10 minute stroll to the beach. No need for a golf cart, unless you want to enjoy the tradition of the island. I could walk... More

“Perfect stay and incredible personal service”

My husband and I stayed at Rock House January 15-20 and the fond memories of our stay on Harbour Island are keeping us sane through this stormy winter in New England. Every review here is true, and we, too, share the same sentiments. We were there in the "slower" time of year and actually enjoyed the calm. EVERYTHING about our... More

“Wonderful”

Reviewed 7 February 2013

We share the very positive comments posted by other reviewers. We would note the following: 1. We had never been to HI before ("Briland") and found it to be much as described, eminently walkable, fabulous beach, friendly (but not overly friendly) locals. 2. The HI crowd while we were there tended to be affluent, white middleaged and up visitors. (We... More
